LACE JABoTs will be much worn, but they will be
called steinkirks.
MORE will be used for trimming serge dresses,
but scarcely in any other way.
NEXT WINTER will be emphatically "sflk" as
distinguished from ''woolen" season.
SIDE PANELS are going out. Front bands OF
draped panels will take their place.
THE MOST FASHIONABLE WOMEN IN PARIS are
wearing their gowns without the tournure.
SILK TAPESTRIES as thick and rich as uphol-
sterers' goods may be used to trim wool dresses

SAsHrs constantly grow in popularity; nearly
set under the basque.
DRAPHD AND FOLDED VESTS will remain feature
in most fall and winter gowns. Repped silk, Ben
galine and velvet will be used.
MAHOGANY and the various Florentine reds will
be favorite shades for street wear next winter.
They are certainly warm looking.
BANGS are steadily decreasing in favor. Every
one whose face can stand the severity Of the style
combs the hair straight back in loose, careless
pompadour.

FOR HOUSE DRESSES the wide bias, half-girdle
fronts Will be used In combination costumes The
upper part Of the shirred cOrsage will be of plain
SILK or wool and the bias part of stripes beginning

tapering toward the waist and fastened there with

PRETTY SAMPLE OF an autumn costume sent
over from Paris recently was a cashmere Of the
new pinkish-gray shade known as twilight" The
skirt was OF a diagonal plaid, consisting of fine
Snd
plating OF the twilight-colored cashmere. The
orapery, drawn high on the hips and the body,
was OF cashmere, cuffs and waistcoat being of the
plaid.
The TENDENCY IN GLOVES for the new season is
that they shall be Of shade to match the cos
tune. Many Of the newest have the strips OF kid
between the fingers OF white, in line with the
fancy for combining white with the costume In
every way possible, but the effect is scarcely de-
sirable, as 1t increases the apparent size OF the
hand. In walking gloves the heavy English glove
Is the faEortte with the broad black stitching and
large buttons. These are always used Tor riding
or driving.
COCKS PLUxEs will be much worn on the
autumn hats. They are dyed to match all shades
of costumes, and are made up in erect, stimy
curled bunches which have a very military effect

means. The breasts Of birds-which for some
strange reason does not excite the ire Of the Audu
bird-stin wings and multitudinous bows OF rib
bon will trim the coming seasons headgear.
BRAIDNG promises to be more than ever popu-
lar. The plain skirts often OF white, under Gobe-
lin blue or twil1ght-gray drapertes are heavily
braided with braid to match the color Of the over
dress. This Is repeated on the white watstcOat,
cuffs and collar. Dresses of fine gray plaids have
blue plastrons of braid which come In ready-m
and can be applied very easily and QUICKLY Ileki
These ready-made sets Of braiding are shown in
all colors and very elaborate designs for the au-
tumn.
dressy suits, combining two colors in one costume
In rather marked contrast. For these combina-
ton cloth costumes the lighter color will be used
for the lower skirt and waistcOat, with dark
basque and drapery. One has drapery OF serpent
green over gray skirt, which is braided with the
green. Another has q skirt OF tobaccO-b brown,
braided with blue, the shade Of the drapery, and
the coat, which matches the costume, is also of
blue. These suits are worn with hats or bOnnetS
trimmed with the shades.
FOR CARRIAGE BOOTs and for house wear patent
leather, with the uppers OF very soft KID is much
liked Almost all shoes now have tip OF patent
leather and for slippers 1t grows more and more
popular. Shoes for the coming season will button
very high around the ankle and will only be
slightly pointed. The last OF the best shoes has
the sole almost straight on the inside the outside
rounding somewhat toward the toe. Heels are
very low and broad save on Louis XIV slippers
used for dancing, where the shoe is considerably
displayed and the wearer Is desirous OF having it
appear as small aS possible.
